different input voltages. It is designed to work

with a single-phase power system having a

grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk

of electrical shock, do not plug into any other

type of power system. If you are not sure of

the type of power being supplied, consult your

authorized dealer or service station. Connect

the projector with all peripheral equipment

before turning it on.
